Jennings Navigator: Quick thoughts on this guitar
Переглядів 2099 місяців тому
Two weeks ago, I never heard of Jennings honestly. But someone had offered me one for trade on my K-line Springfield. That deal didn't go through. But after looking up Jennings Navigator on line, I found this one and really liked its look. I contacted the seller and we struck a deal. I'm happy to say the gamble payed off. Turned out to be a great guitar.

This is a workaround for keeping the Bluetooth connection always connected on the JBL Pro app. This is an issue with both ios and Android. This "fix" is for Android only. This issue may be addressed in an updated version of JBL Pro connect in the future. But for now, this is a way around it.

Got tons of Teles, never heard of Jennings til today....being offered one in trade. They often come with McNelly pups....if so....love McN's....excellent
I have no complaints on it. Feels good and sounds good!
👌👌👌
Looking at getting this exhaust for my 2016 how was the install
It was complicated to get the one piece exhaust around the axle. But later, someone told me I should have jacked the truck up a little at the hitch, so the axle would drop- giving me more room above it. That would have been smart.
Thanks a lot for this tutorial. I just got my HPD20 and I was a bit scared of the technical part. But with this video I understand and it motivates me to learn. Subscribed. 👋
Thanks for this! This background app issue has been driving me a bit nuts. I've just bought the JBL Eon Mk2 and this happens. I use an Android Tablet and I will set this up. Thanks for the clear tutorial on the fix.
Thanks for this. My HPD20 has been sitting alone for a long time simply because IMO the kits etc are not as good as they were on the HPD15 where you also had loops you could play along to. Rather than mess around with old school MIDI programming with that, it makes perfect sense to replace the kits. Even after filling the User slots 80pc of the rest I would be happy to replace. And I have XO, just never put 2 and 2 together lol. This is today's task!
10 minutes later and my MC6/RC600 is completely set up and ready to roll. UNREAL!!!! This has got to be the most helpful video I've seen on UA-cam on this topic, and trust me, I have been looking!! It helped me not only set up my gear, but, as a newcomer to midi-world, I learned so much! THANK YOU!
Any suggestions on how to get an MC6pro to control an RC600?! I am struggling to figure it out...
I have the RC600 now. I also have the mc6pro. Though technically I'm not using the mc6 to control the looper, I'm sure I can help. Give me an example of what you're doing
@@Mik_McG Amazing! I used tracks 1-3 normally. (rec/play - stop). But then I use the 3 buttons on the top as undos for tracks 1-3. I still want to have access to tracks 4-6 but I want to control through the MC6. So I am simply trying to get, say, button A on the MC6pro to rec/play track 4. and then use button B on the MC6pro to stop track 4...and so on...Not sure what settings I need on the RC600 OR the MC6pro!
Ok, that's fairly easy, though long to explain. Let me get home this eve and I'll get back to you 👍
@@Mik_McG It would be WILDLY helpful! thank you!
Making a vid 👍
great video!!! my burned cd is now playing. no more white noise. thanks to this!
Very handy, cheers. Quite an involved process! I already want a new vers: 2 model which has easy direct 24 bit sample import!
Thanks for sharing! I just went from the HPD-15 to the 20. The 3-band equalizer is very similar to my TD-17. So, I'm going to tweak the EQ and see if I can make the drum sounds come more alive. The eDrumworkshop has a really good Roland EQ tutorials that may work well on the Handsonic HPD-20. ua-cam.com/video/UlT067YUsj8/v-deo.html
amazing man... love to know how you did this! superb performance and digging your music too
thanks! I just got the HPD20. Am I right that in order to save a kit you created, you also have to use that 'copy' function? Sounds weird, but for the life of me I could not find a 'save' option in the manual...I can't see the logic behind this :)
Thank you for this. I have an RC 5 and been interested in midi setup and seemed pretty daunting...your video really helped me undestand how to proceed.
Hpd 20 sample wav export mobile application? please help you sir❤❤🙏
What application?
Excellent tutorial! Thank you good sirs!
please sir HPD 20 audio convert your mobile software please answer me🙏❤❤🙏
Hey thanks! Could you explain to me what your trying to convert?
thanks for sharing your knowledge,just got my new HPD-20.LOOK FORWARD TO FUTURE VIDEOS.
I Love it!
so much work 🤩
I'm just curious because, i own a HPD - 20. Do you know what the Max Sample Time in Seconds it is for a Sample Length inside the HPD-20?
I don’t own an HPD-20 (soon hopefully), but I read that one sample can be up to 6 minutes in length. So 6 minutes or 360 seconds long. Total sample time is 12 minutes between all samples.

Love the tutorial, thank you. Would also love to hear you play the kit post import so we can hear the result! 😊
Awesome channel. Found you because of your Handsonic tutorials but stayed for the great jams.
Awesome, thank you!
THANK YOU, i wanted to do the opposite (from 16 to 24 bits) !
Do the parameters of each pad (or trigger) affect. ."inserted non -factory samples" the same as factory samples???
Thanks for sharing! You know of any way i can properly adjust the individual volume level of the chime sample? I own the 15 and 20 and have never been able to balance the volume level of the chime with the other instruments in a kit. I normally balance the volume levels of all the instruments in a kit, with enough headroom to be able to turn up the volume, depending on situation, or system i play through. No matter how i adjust the volume level of the chimes, they either play too low to be heard properly with the rest of the kit, or so high it distorts. Have played with a number of settings in both Handsonics with no luck. Am i missing something? Importing another sample fix this?? Anyone??
Takamine P1JC or yamaha CPX1000?
Tough call. I'm a huge fan of Yamaha, and honestly I wouldn't mind trying the CPX1000 myself, just to see.
I have a rc5 and just bought the donner b1. It is a synth with midi. Can i connect the two with a cable? What can i do once connected?
Don't work with Macbook pro M2 max. can you solve this problem?. it runs on my Imac
Thank you for a beautiful demonstration and for confirming Morning Star compatibility with Aeros Looper. I'm curious, what unit is the midi clock master?
In this video, the Beat Buddy is the master. If I remember right, it has to be that way in order for everything to sync correctly. For example, I don't think Beat Buddy likes being slave. Gets wonky when you change parts.
@@Mik_McG Thanks for the quick reply. That is the way I've experienced it. You just helped me decide to switch out my Boomerang (non midi) looper for the Aeros. Thanks again!
Can you try using the batch process of 24-bit to 16-bit WAV files in Foobar2000 and see if the HPD-20 will read the converted WAV files?
merci Milk McG !! lul😝
Really nice explanation, I don't have a Morningstar but I'm hoping to translate this to my M-Vave Chocolate midi foot switchs (plan on using a midi merger to use both 4 button devices together). Thanks again.
Thank you for a great video, everything is working except switch "E", memory down. It doesn't respond when I press it, most of the time, and sometimes goes up. I set up cc to 80 in Morningstar editor, and in SY-200 in MIDI under 5/7 80 is CTL1 cc, 81 is CTL2 cc and 82 is CTL3 cc. If you have any idea where to look for mistakes please let me know. Thank you
I'll give it some thought. My first initial thought, from the behavior you're describing, is that the problem is on Morningstar editor. Perhaps something small like toggle, or a typo in cc number. Let me check it out
Thank you for trying.@@Mik_McG
I tried to set up memory up and down switches to H and D instead of E and G, (it should not make a difference??, is that correct??) but I use cc 81 for down instead 80 and it worked, but than memory up (H switch) was not working properly, like it went crazy, when I press it go 2-3 times up than down than freeze... just thinking could this be a clue why is not working in a first place??
Have you figured it out yet?
Thank you !! Brilliant detailed video. Look forward to future videos and tutorials.
Thank you ! Very helpful. Can you tell me how you plug the devices together ?
Bmidi-1-35 will definitely work. I use a 5 pin din midi cable, with a trs to 5 pin midi adapter. Called "MIDI TRS DIN Cable for Akai Korg Line-6 Littlebits Make Noise - MPC Studio MPX8 Electribe SQ-1 Mobilizer 0-Cast"
@@Mik_McG thanks
Thanks for the awesome tutorial - importing and assigning is exactly what I needed :)
thanks
Epic! I just learned so much! Thank You! I just ordered my HPD 20!
This is smooooth! :) <3
Thanks for the overview. Is it doing anything to alter the wav file when you apply pressure, velocity, aftertouch, etc? Or is there some sort of sampler controls for this?
I needed this CC instruction AND I NEEDED SHARK FROM 12 OZ. MOUSE TO INSTRUCT ME
I got as far as around 9:20 where you say let move on to next step. How ya get there? I'm using USB connect rather then flash memory stick. Thanks for help. I'm do close lol.
I'm not really sure, as far as using computer directly to HPD20. With the flash stick, there's no opportunity for the HPD20 to be confused on communication. I imagine the hpd20 is trying to read your hard drive and needs directed. If I get a minute, I'll try your way. But if you have a flash stick, follow my vid here, it will work.
@Mik McG Thank you very much. I'll try find a flash stick tomorrow. You're instructions are 💯 great even a tech challenged guy like me can easily follow. You have a fan Aloha
Thank you this is excellent, I been searching a long time for a how to do this clip. I am beyond tech challenged but will try this. I dowloaded the free Albleton live daw. I will try this with that. Im interested in assigning single bass notes to the small pads individually as well. I guess this could work that way too. Last question if i may. Is it possible to loop like the sample for continuous play? Mahalo Aloha from Hawaii
Unfortunately it only plays loop in one shot.
Yes, Bandlab had single bass notes/samples. You could use those, for sure.
@Mik McG Thanks so much, I'm excited where I can take my handsonic now. Creativity will flow.
@Mik McG Maybe there's a way to loop once downloaded thru HPD record option somehow. I'll let ya know if I find away.
@Mik McG I'd love to be able to trigger mantuno tumbau in various notes to make a song like C F G C . If that makes sense. Sorry I talk to much lol. Just really happy finding finally a good tutor 👍
How can loop speed first and slow?
This was huge!!! Thanks for putting this together!
Great video , I would have picked Afro jazz also My question is if your flash drive was formatted to Mac would it work on HandSonic ?
I don't have a Mac, so I'm not sure about Mac to Usb. However, I know you can format the usb drive in the HPD-20, via menu settings, and it will mount on the Mac.
Great! Thx for doing this. Here's a link for peeps to check out the One button Ableton Live Looper: ua-cam.com/video/hRpgHjGpSww/v-deo.html
Thanks! This is great! I'm able to get any sample, sound; How can I get latin rhythms or latin jazz for HPD-20?
There's a pack on Bandlab called Latin House. It actually has some pretty good, and authentic feeling samples. Unfortunately, that's about it... as far as BandLab and Latin Jazz go.
